UPDATE:

It's been longer than a few days since made my original post, sorry! I currently have 122,400 miles on the odometer and my Xemodex throttle is still working perfectly. Since replacing, I have had zero issues with rough idle, ETS light, or CELs.

I actually have this same issue with my S70 Non turbo, but it really only happens when its cold outside. During the summer, it hits operating temp in less than 10 minutes, typically. Since it got cold this week, I can drive my car for 30 minutes on the highway and the temp gauge only warms up to the...

Thought I would also chime in on this. I'm not a big DIYer either, but I was able to install a new headunit with few problems. Went to Car Toys to get a wiring harness, so there was no need to snip any wires at all. It plugged right into the factory radio harness. For the IPod connector, I drilled a...

I'm wishing I bought the HD spring seats from IPD. The price is similar to OEM and they will supposedly last longer (the originals in my S70 failed at 78,000 miles).

Purchased the car in October 2010 with 76,000 miles. Here's what I've had done besides oil changes, filters, other fluids: Nov 2010 - All fluids replaced Nov 2010 - Replaced Timing and Serpentine belts Nov 2010 - Replaced Power steering hose Jan 2011 - sway bar endlinks Jan 2011 - Swapped out a clam...

1999 S70 N/A - 23.5 combined city/ highway this summer. I'm sure my average will go up this winter because I won't have the AC blasting all the time. Highway mpg ranges from about 27-32.

Just installed new spark plugs and Bosch ignition coils. Threads on the original spark plugs were a little corroded, it's possible that they were original. Took a little less than an hour to get it all done and she's running great! I took it for a test drive and noticed that start up was quicker. Id...

Thanks for the replies. erikv11- Definitely a good point and you are probably right. I've owned the car for about a year and I know the previous owner did basically nothing but oil changes to the car (76,000 over 11 years), so I've spent the last year or so getting it caught up on basic maintenance....

Hey everyone, I drive a 1999 S70 Non-Turbo. This afternoon my CEL came on. Rough idle, loss of power. I had the codes read at O'reilly's and it came up with P0303 and P1081, which indicated a cylinder 3 misfire. I went to the dealership and bought a new set of spark plugs ($30) and an ignition coil ...
